The Fifth At Huntsville
New Camp Has No Shade, But It Is In The Mountains And Healthy - Private Wolfe's Death.
(special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun)
Huntsville, Ala., Aug. 21. - The Fifth Maryland Regiment, in five sections, arrived here between sundown last evening and dawn this morning.
The place is beautiful. It is one of the prettiest towns in the South, surrounded by mountains, and the men already begin to feel the effects of the change. The sick, in point of fact, began to get better the moment they left Tampa. Getting out of the place was the balm of Gilead.
Early this morning the movement of the troops began. They started out to the camp in small sections and it was nearly 2 o'clock when the wagons from the freight train arrived with the tents. It was nearly night when everything was fixed and finally located.
The camp is not an ideal one as far as shade is concerned. It is in an abandoned cornfield, with not a tree in sight. These boys want shade after ten weeks in Tampa and there is plenty of shade here, too, and there is no reason why the tents should not be under the trees. Back of the camp of the Fifth is the Second Georgia Regiment. There is plenty of room for a camp on the mountain side and both regiments, it seems to me, ought to be there. But while they are in the sun they are breathing good air and the malaria is going glimmering.
Several of the officers stayed at the Huntxville Hotel tonight, but all will enter camp tomorrow. It won't take long for all hands to get well if they stay here long. I hope Uncle Sam will leave us here for a time, at least. What we want is to stay in a good healthy place, until we can get the Tampa malaria out of our bones.
Private Thomas M. Wolfe, of Campany A. died early this morning in Tampa of typhoid fever. His remains will be sent to Frederick, Md., as soon as possible.
